Nope not successful this year. It was a long shot but definately rehearsed for future draw applications. Thanks to the forum and those polite enough to help a NM newbie hunter. Going to try getting a landowner tag for cow.
yeah probably not the best comparison seeing how bbq is better than sushi! was just pointing out that the draw hunts are open to anyone (no preference to resident vs NR) and everyone has an equal chance.
My 2 cents. Texas has no open land to hunt like a lot of other states. No Nat'l forest land or public land. We have nothing but land to own or lease for WT, hogs, turkey, coyotes, mule deer far west Tx and those high fenced exotic ranches that cost an arm and leg to hunt. However, Tx does have...
Well its finally done. Put in for the NM elk draw for the first time. Now it's just a matter of wait and see. Not really expecting favorable results but keeping fingers crossed. No chance taken is a chance missed.
Good luck to all ya'll other hunters in the draw.
hi thanks for your input. Yessir been reading some folks tend to take vehicles where they can and shouldn't. I too will have an ATV put only intend to take it and park it then do some hiking to other not so easily reached places. Looking at the maps it doesn't seem like there's a drastic...
Been reading some posts on NM Unit 50 for all hunts. Different opinions on hunting this area. I normally hunt Colorado with a couple guys and have been doing so for the last 20 years. This year a different friend wants to go but is limited on time. So, we have been looking into NM. I have...
Hey I'm old and my mind doesn't work like it used to Lol. Have read the brochure, looked at different videos by different people and learning more about the process. just asking for clarification. Never hurts to be reassured by those with more knowledge. It's nice to have real time clarification...
Ive never put in for a draw except here in TX for draw hunts. Here you can put in for a draw hunt with up to 4 people and the other three can put in apps with the same people and if one gets drawn all 4 do. So I was just curious. Ill go back and read that section and dissect it a little more.
Need a right or wrong on this.
I put in an application, my buddy puts in and application and we both attach to the others application. If one gets drawn the other is drawn also?
Trying not to give out a whole lot of information or ask to specific information. Was in a couple Colorado forums and got blasted for telling too much or asking too much. Some people get irate when asking for just a little help. They act like you're trying to get their honey hole info! I have 2...
I've downloaded this past year draw results and found another percentage report for the last 3 years and have been working from that in boiling down areas. Not really looking for those "trophy areas" as I enjoy just getting into the woods and anything I see is a gift. Don't get me wrong a bull...
Got it. So basically, we need to decide exactly what are preferences are 1,2,3 submit and pray to the draw gods for something. I read they look at all 3 choices before moving on? 3rd ones a charm or 3 strikes and out?Lol
Ok that answers that. Next question, If I put in and application for 3 choices and my hunt buddy attaches to that application, can he put in an application with other choices and I attach to his application will it deny the application as being a duplicate.
Hey fellow hunting enthusiasts. New to the site fo NM hunting and have just a couple questions that the rule book is vague on and havent been able to find any answers thru google. Lol Was hoping there is a few that can help with the answers or lead me in the right direction.
Couple of...
Thank you for the advice. My approach has resulted in one person that was very kind to offer me a particular website in all of my research I never knew existed. It gives me a range of information that will help me in planning my hunt. Nothing specific about anyone's honey hole but common...
